Why doesn't the set NPC Z command exist?

This article (or part thereof) is obsolete. It may have made sense in the past, but it does not make sense now. It is kept here only for historic curiosity and/or posterity.

It does, since Beelzebufo!

For those of you who don't understand what "Z" means in this context, it represents height off the ground. Heroes and NPCs each have a Z position. The Z value is the number of pixels UP that the hero/NPC is drawn relative to the tile they are actually standing on.

Maps also have a "foot offset" off the ground, which is subtracted from the Z position for all the NPCs and heroes. If you want to modify this instead, use set foot offset.
